As a non-Celt reviewer, I was intrigued by the roll-call of great names of the 18th and 19th century Welsh revivals.
In our modern era of understandable pride in Welshness, how wonderful it would be if the heritage of revival came to the fore again. As this book indicates, with the fire of revival came the smoke of revivalism. Ultimately, it is impossible to have fire without smoke, sadly too often we have smoke these days without fire.
